Check out Tony's new custom road bike. Tony, who runs Cyclefit inside Tacoma Bike, in Tacoma Washington, asked me if I would build him a new racing frame. These days that is a novel idea given the near complete absence of steel frames in any peloton anywhere. Tony has designed and raced lots of bikes from all the popular materials, but he felt it was time to revisit steel. What we built was a full-on crit/road race frame Tacoma style: weatherized that is. It's the fastest bike with fenders you will ever see and Tony tells me it is the best bike he has ever ridden. Maybe he will (re)introduce some bike racers to steel. What a concept. Thanks Tony!

specs:
frame geometry: custom for Tony
tubing: Dedacciai
fork: traditional steel with Dedacciai blades
paint: Purple Haze by Keith Anderson
inspiration for paint: Tony has seen enough black, white, and primary colors.
build kit: Campagnolo 11
wheels: He uses several sets for different purposes.
